Why is GA not showing my visitor paths, just the general domain?

    I have many ezine articles.
    I thought that by clicking the domain "Ezinearticles.com" I would get an idea of which articles were sending the traffic. Instead it just shows "Ezinearticles.com" and then "/" as if the hits are coming from the root of ezinearticles.com.

    Can anyone help me here? I have the same problem with youtube. My traffic from Youtube says it is all coming from Youtube.com/watch/ instead of actually detailing WHICH videos are getting the people to my site.

    Obviously this is extremely important if I plan on improving my website and marketing strategy. Please help...

    Data Collection method every analytics tool is different in this google analytics is also included. GA will not provide you whole referral link.

    Stat counter is solution for your problem. you can see whole referral path of articles or videos from visitor came towards your site.

    In GA through event tracking you can analyzed video behaviour.

    Let me know if you need any help.

    Yes, Dipali. I need help.
    I was using Statcounter, but I wanted to switch to google analytics as I feel it can be a better tool if I know how to use it, and it doesn't limit me to only 500 free entries.

    Apparently it might have something to do with the plugin i'm using Ultimate Google Analytics for Wordpress. THe code has been inserted in my <head> tags when I would prefer to place it by the end of the <body> tag. I believe it's possible that this makes a difference.

    You must wait 2 weeks in GA to get updated result? How old is your GA code implemented on your site.
